Boundary-Layer-Theory

Write down application of Boundary Layer Theory.

APPLICATION OF BOUNDARY LAYER THEORY:

  1. It is used in the design of airfoils of an aeroplane.

  2. The primary practical utility of boundary layer theory is the prediction of drag (or resistance) on the body.

  3. Important phenomenon like flow separation are defined in this theory.

  4. It helps in the prediction and analysis of weather climate, hydrology etc.

  5. The boundary layer theory for high Rayleigh number convection has been generalised to study convective flow.

  6. It is used in the mixing enhancement.

  7. It has an important application in Golf Ball Aerodynamics.

  8. One can estimate the development of the shock over the wing.
